FxWirePro: USD/JPY recovery capped at 200-DMA, unexpectedly weaker U.S. CPI dents

USD/JPY chart - Trading View 

  • USD/JPY is trading in a narrow range, capped below 200-DMA.
     
  • US dollar weighed down by softer US consumer inflation figures. While fresh Brexit jitters underpinned the Japanese Yen's safe-haven demand.
     
  • Data overnight showed U.S. the headline CPI came in at a 0.2% m/m rise in Feb, while the yearly rate eased further to 1.5%, missing forecasts for an unchanged reading.
     
  • Downside is limited with a pickup in the prevalent positive tone around the US Treasury bond yields.
     
  • The broader market risk-sentiment will remain the main driver for price action. 
     
  • Technical outlook on the daily charts remains neutral. Break below 55-EMA at 110.81 will increase the bearish bias.
     
  • Bearish divergence and rollover of Stochs from overbought levels keeps scope for downside.
     
  • Break below 55-EMA will see dip till 110 level. Retrace above 200-DMA will see test of 78.6% Fib.

Support levels - 111.06 (21-EMA), 110.81 (55-EMA), 110 (trendline)

Resistance levels - 111.40 (200-DMA), 112.06 (Upper BB), 112.43 (78.6% Fib)
